In that time frame, the Giants have won 65 games, a pair of division titles and a Super Bowl championship. Manning has also thrown for 156 touchdown passes versus 113 interceptions during that stretch. Based on those numbers, one could say Eli has had a productive career to this point and he compares favorably to some of the top quarterbacks in the NFL.

But Manning has a way to go to get into the Top 10, let alone the Top 5. His QB rating last year
, according to Yahoo Sports
, was 85.3 or 17th in the league. Tom Brady
's rating was 111, which put him in the No. 1 slot. Eli's older brother, Peyton Manning
came in at 91.9, which put him at No. 10. What hurt Eli Manning the most in the 2010-2011 season was interceptions. He lead the league with 25. Brady had 4.

“It was kind of like, what am I supposed to say? ‘No, I don’t think so?’” the Giants quarterback said in an interview on WFAN 660
, according to The Star-Ledger
. “I’m trying to compete; I’m trying to be the best quarterback and get to a championship. That’s what I’m trying to do every year.”

Ah, New York and its athletes: Confidence has never been in short supply.
